Disambiguation link notification for May 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ben Kelly (designer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Puma ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Ben_Kelly_%28designer%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Ben_Kelly_%28designer%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Michael773623, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Ben Kelly (designer) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:41, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Bevis Bawa Reply
The reason that I reverted your original edit on Bevis Bawa was because the cited reference you provided (San Rocco - Pure Beauty - 2017), which states "Artworks present in the house frankly document Bawa's use for it for love affairs with local boys, yet these have never been made public" appeared to be more of an author's opinion rather than a validated fact. Given your reference, Cultural Encounters and Homoeroticism in Sri Lanka: Sex and Serendipity by Robert Aldrich, it maybe more appropriate to include a new sub-section "Personal life", which details his homosexuality and his predisposition to younger males.

Proposed deletion of Hype (marketing)
Hello, Michael773623

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username John from Idegon, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Hype (marketing), for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit Edit the page]
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And remember to sign your reply with. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

John from Idegon (talk) 10:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing this Page, I have read the Deletion criteria but am unable to identify which criteria you believe this article matches, are you able to advise ? Michael773623 (talk) 23:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, Michael. The policy rationale should have been WP:NOTDICTIONARY, which is part of the WP:NOT, one of the pillar policies. Please note that the editor who de-prodded it did not say he felt this was an appropriate topic; only that he felt it needed further discussion. I'm not going to mark it up for AfD, but that doesn't mean someone else won't. Some suggestions?
 * Make some organization changes, ie, cosmetic changes, so it looks a little less like an extended definition.
 * Perhaps you could discuss some actual hype examples. You'd have to be real careful not to stray over into WP:PROMO territory,  but if you stick to historic stuff, it would be easier.
 * Anyway, thanks for asking. Feel free to drop me a note on my talk if I can be of assistance with anything. I'll respond,  but it likely won't be quickly.  John from Idegon (talk) 04:25, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
